Tire sizes??

i may be wrong here, but i think you need to mini-tub with a full notch. i'm not sure. if you notch and mini-tub it, then i dont think you'd have a problem at all as long as you run the right backspace. i plan on doing mine, but i'm gonna narrow the rear and run 4.5 backspace. good luck with it! 8)

How much are you planning on narrowing yours?

i'm not sure yet, i have a 12 bolt now, and it is wider than stock, when my cousin did his nova he bought the wheels and tires he wanted, put them under the car at ride height (without the rearend under the car) and measured from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface and figured the width of the rearend from there.

I am building a shop presently. First of spring I will be done and ready to begin my project. I will post pictures as I go. Thank you for the help.

well

on my old 84 i was running 275-50, 8" wheel with 4" b/s. i had to roll the fender lips to make it fit, and it was an RCH away from rubbing on corners. about all i felt comfortable with stuffing in there. and i detest the hang it out look but more wheel width and a pair of redneck airshocks and you could fit like a 28x12.50 pretty easy :shock:
